Fig. 1 is the signal diagram of the typical dynamic loudspeaker 100 in various types of voice applications.Technical staff
It will be appreciated that there are the shape and size of many dynamic loudspeakers, this depends on the desired type of institute of application.With being described below
The dynamic loudspeakers 100 of the method and apparatus detected and controlled for loudspeaker excursion there is about 6.5 inches of diaphragm diameter
D, but technical staff will be appreciated that the present invention substantially can be applied to all types of dynamic loudspeakers, especially in portable terminal
Small-sized electric of the end (such as mobile phone, smart phone and other portable music player devices) for audio reproduction is raised one's voice
Device.The largest outer dimension D of such mini electric loud speaker can be in 6mm between 30mm.
Dynamic loudspeaker 100 includes the vibrating diaphragm 10 for being fixed to sound ring frame 20a.Voice coil 20 be wrapped on sound ring frame 20a and
Firmly it is attached thereon.Vibrating diaphragm 10 is mechanically coupled to speaker frame 22 also by elastic edge or external suspension frame 12.Annular is forever

40kHz loudspeaker excursion detector 400 output impedance significantly less than loud speaker 100 40kHz impedance
32 Ω (with reference to the impedance curve 305 described in Fig. 3).For example, the output impedance of the loudspeaker excursion detector 400 in 40kHz
It can be under 1.0 Ω so that the level of the substantial constant of composite drive signal driving voltage can be applied to loudspeaker voice coil,
This is independently of by voice coil inductance LeThe relevant change of offset caused by loud speaker previously described variable high frequency impedance.
If the 40kHz impedances of voice coil with loudspeaker excursion changes (i.e. as explained above moveable vibrating diaphragm with
The big offset of Voice coil assemblies), then the voltage driving for souning out the voice coil of the loud speaker of frequency in 40kHz causes through the bright of voice coil
The probe signal electric current of aobvious variation.In the case of opposite, the small offset for moveable vibrating diaphragm and Voice coil assemblies, because of sound
The 40kHz impedances of circle keep main constant but regardless of loudspeaker excursion, so the voice coil for souning out frequency in 40kHz obtains constant voltage

It is determined during calibration measurement on sound device or the dynamic loudspeaker of same type.Corresponding to the probe signal of maximum allowable offset
The modulation level of electric current is registered as maximum modulation threshold value or similar modulation level standard.In loudspeaker excursion detector 400
Subsequent operation during, the instantaneous modulation level of probe signal electric current and run on DSP 402 appropriately configured software/
The maximum modulation threshold value of program routine is made comparisons.If the instantaneous modulation level of probe signal electric current is more than maximum modulation threshold
Value, then for example (this more has can by the low frequency component for digital audio input signal of selectively decaying by DSP 402 in response
Can on drive the speaker limits to its maximum allowable offset) or the entire frequency spectrum of broadband attenuation digital audio input signal decline

Voice response on 1kHz so that the high frequency probe signal of the loud speaker of the type can be placed in 1kHz or slightly 1kHz it
On.On the other hand, the minor diameter gamut mini electric loud speaker for being used for portable communication appts or music player produces
The significant acoustic pressure of up to 15kHz or even 20kHz so that the high frequency probe signal of the loud speaker of the type should be preferably disposed in
20kHz or slightly on 20kHz to keep non-audible.In addition, high frequency probe signal can be also advantageously located at the sound of wherein loud speaker
